Wal-Mart and women's health - 2 out of 50 aint' bad
The Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy smacked the moralizers at Wal- Mart around today, ordering them to stock the "morning after" pill in all of their pharmacies in the state. The ruling is in reponse to a lawsuit filed by three women a few weeks ago.
The ruling will bring the number of states where Wal-Mart will dispense the pill to a whopping two. Illinois requires all pharmacies to stock and dispense any prescription.
But give Wal-Mart credit - they're at 4% due to the power of the state, which obviously explains this comment:
"Clearly women's health is a high priority for Wal-Mart," spokesman Dan Fogleman said. "We are actively thinking through the issue."
Clearly.
